Change of graphics. Looks very bad. Unable to change it.

After the mod 15 patch, when i went to log into the game it gave me a choice of default or low settings for my graphics card. So i did the default, and as it loaded in, the game's graphics turned into something that look like it belongs on a commodore 64 from the very early 80's. The rendering is so bad, that even if i pulled my card, it wouldn't improve. How can i get the game to revert back to what it was, since i cannot find any options in the client itself to do so? Reinstall? then patch it all the way back up?

Cuz right now, it looks really really bad. The old nintendo graphics are better than what i'm seeing on my desktop now.

    Hey there @terrek41

    I read your post while patching and got the same message upon login attempt. Its for outdated drivers that need updating. The 1st option is continue with lower settings etc, the second one is default but says problems may occur blah blah blah. I exited it and updated my NVIDIA drivers etc and did not get the message again when logging in. No visual or audio problems.

    If you haven't already check for updates to drivers in Device Manager. Im no tech expert but hope this helps gl and ty and NW for the warning which may fix some small problems I experienced recently.

    Except that I got the message with drivers that Windows claims are up to date.

    I also got the out of date drivers message - as did my wife & NVIDIA tells us both our drivers up to date as of 05/11/18 - we both went with default settings & the "remind us in a month" option.

    Graphics look the same as pre-mod now

    I had to reinstall the game 3x to get the game to revert back to normal.
